In the next two days, everything was peaceful. The biggest thing is that Qi Du ordered someone to find me, and asked me to take the burn to him and explain to him the use of the new long and short iron cannons. My existence is more as a translator, but this is also good, I also learned a lot of knowledge, and deepened my relationship with this northern military commander of the Ming Dynasty. Especially in the future trend of the Fusang, Tatars, and Jurchens, I also made some bold predictions, in fact, I talked about history in a vague way, but it was deeply in line with Qi Jiguang's heart.

However, whenever he asked about the future of this dynasty, I laughed and did not answer, causing him to shake his head and sigh. For this, he also rewarded me with a lot of silver and equipment, which I knew was in consideration for my provision of gun models and instructors, and I asked him for instructions to replace these gifts with several sets of close-fitting soft armor. Qi Dudu didn't know what he meant, but I said bluntly, now that the storm is coming, emergencies are common, and it doesn't mean much to ask for money and other external things, but a set of treasure armor is tantamount to a life.

Qi Dudu laughed and said, "You spare your life!"

I smiled and said, "I'm being timid." It made him laugh. In my previous life, as a cleaner, especially a cleaner who was good at assassination, I often turned people's happy events into funerals and festivals into sacrificial days, so I was always extra careful every New Year's Day.

Based on the current state of defense in the camp, it is not very difficult for me as a professional to carry out the assassination. Especially in the past few days, the Nine Ghosts Masataka and Mo, who are particularly good at concealing assassinations and intelligence gathering, have reminded me many times that there have been many suspicious people around the camp recently, who seem to be incomprehensible in writing, and who behave rudely, and that there have been two accomplices who got drunk in the bazaar tavern and wrestled with each other in public, very similar to the Tatars, so I should be more careful.

As a staff officer, the kite even made Sand, the most skilled man in martial arts, disguise himself as my servant, and stay in the wing next door to me to protect him at any time. So I told Qi Dudu about these concerns, and he nodded, but said that it was all right. Naturally, I didn't say more, but I told the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao in private to strengthen the protection of the caravan, Ye Gong, Uncle Ye and Yan Zhu were all over there, and let people bring the soft armor to Uncle Ye and No Regrets later-these equipment, their level is impossible to equip, so I took them into consideration.

When the soft armor arrived, there were a total of eight sets, one set of silver wire armor and seven sets of steel wire armor. I picked up the steel wire armor to see, this kind of soft armor is actually a steel wire shoulder, made of metal wire and animal tendons tightly pierced, and in the front and back of the heart to add some leaf armor as a strengthening, the start is very light, the size can be adjusted by the subcostal frenulum, worn in the coat is not conspicuous, and almost does not affect the activity, but can effectively resist daggers, short knives These light weapons of cutting attacks and a certain degree of penetrating attacks, very beneficial.

The silver silk armor is roughly the same, but it is more flexible, lighter, and stronger, and only military attachés above the rank of general are eligible to apply for it. The set of silver silk armor that Qi Dudu gave me, although the formal significance is greater than the practical significance, is definitely extraordinarily gracious.

I thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to give this set of silver wire armor to Ye Sizhong, as a battalion officer, he only has steel wire armor, and I can't say that this gift is not ungenerous. He began to refuse, I insisted on sending it, and finally he had to accept it, so he ordered someone to send me two sets of steel wire armor and two stainless steel short swords, and I accepted it. In addition, I also said in the first few chats that I am good at bow and crossbow shooting, and he also ordered someone to privately send me a mechanical crossbow, telling me to collect it. This is also contraband, and he does this, but he doesn't owe favors, but he is an interesting person.

It was Chinese New Year's Eve. Since the morning, the sky has been snowing, and in the afternoon it has been raining heavily. In the evening, the whole world was covered in silver. Suddenly I felt a little homesick, and on Chinese New Year's Eve at that time, it was always me and Uncle Suzuki, sometimes going to the steel cherry blossoms, and Mr. Okamoto and Minako were the only two, and the four of us would celebrate the holiday together. I remember one time, Minako played the first two springs reflecting the moon on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the erhu tune almost made me cry. Since then, I've begged Uncle Suzuki to add an erhu in my art class.

Yesterday I remembered this, and asked Su to tell my uncle-in-law to help me find an erhu, ah, yes! Now it's called Xi Qin. Unexpectedly, I searched all over the town and didn't find it, until I ate at the drunken fairy building in the evening, and the master of the show happened to use Xi Qin, and my uncle's soft grinding and hard bubbles finally bought this piano with double the market price.

People are strangers in a foreign land, every festival is more than a family, the calibration is corrected, I try to pull the first two springs to reflect the moon, hearing the music of the previous life, I was excited for a while, I couldn't help it, almost to cry. After the song was finished, I listened to the applause on the side, and when I looked back, it was Ye Sizhong and my uncle, followed by no regrets. I hurriedly got up, and Ye Sizhong praised: "Qilan is both civil and military, which is admirable!" I don't know what the name of this song is, but I've never heard it. ”

I was about to answer, but I heard a person laughing outside, it was Qi Jiguang Qi Dudu, he said as he walked: "After the introduction, the melody of this song goes up from Shang Yin to Jiao, and then stops for a while on the Zheng and Jiao sounds, ending with Gong Yin, the melody is like a microwave undulating, just like an old man sitting by the water and pondering the past." Let me guess, this song can be related to water stopping? ”

I hurriedly got up and thanked: "Go back to the governor!" Du Du Hui'er, this song is called "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", which is made exclusively by my master, and has not yet been spread on the market, but I don't want to be broken by Du Du's words! Admire under it! ”

Qi Dudu took the erhu and looked at it carefully: "This qin is mostly spread in the north, and your master must be very widespread. Well...... Is it the same person who taught you martial arts? ”

I replied, "Exactly." The instructional video that Uncle Suzuki bought is also counted as one person. I added in my heart.

Qi Dudu sighed: "Master! It's a pity that it's rare to see! The style of this song is sad, and the composer must have been sad for half a lifetime. Alas, good song! But today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't pull this tragedy! He patted me on the shoulder and smiled, "Let's go!" The night banquet is about to begin, you go with me, and then play another song to add to the fun! ”

I don't have any reason, so I let the sand be a piano boy and go with me, and the two of us are naturally wearing soft armor.

Needless to say, there are also warriors forming teams during the period, dancing with swords and shields, and making peace with drums, which is really mighty and majestic. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Qi Dudu stood up and toasted everyone. After his speech, he pointed to me and said, "I never thought that there was still a capable person in the camp. Qilan, you can play a song and cheer everyone up! ”

I hurriedly got up, held the piano, sat down in the middle of the venue, on the chair that had just been set up, thought about it, and played a song "Horse Racing". These new tunes hundreds of years later, the style of the song is flexible, the tune is cheerful, it is unheard of for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone is happy after a song! For a while, the toast and the wine were more enthusiastic, and many people came to toast me, but I avoided as much as possible on the grounds that I was not strong enough to drink, because I always felt unsteady in my heart.

Just when everyone was drinking meat and vegetables, suddenly someone outside shouted: "It's water!" Walk the water! The chaos gradually rose, and my heart spoke: "It's really coming!" put down the erhu, secretly touched the frost in his hand, and retreated to the corner with the sand. I looked up at Qi Dudu, but I saw him sitting steadily, looking at me and smiling at me. My heart instantly relaxed. There was a lot of people in the big tent for a while.

After making trouble for a while, Qi Dudu suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Don't act rashly!" Violators will be killed! "Qi Du supervises the army very strictly, and as soon as these words come out, someone will communicate it to each other. When the soldiers of this army heard the order, they naturally stood aside, and those who had ulterior motives did not care about this, but it became more and more rampant. Movement and stillness, it is very obvious! Qi Dudu shouted again: "Take down the restless ones immediately!" Those who disobey will be killed on the spot! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, about a third of the waiters suddenly drew their knives and pounced on the troublemakers! In a few rounds, you can take down all the troublemakers!

It seems that Qi Dudu has been prepared for a long time! It was my false alarm. I glanced at the captured man, with dark skin and strange bones, not like a Central Plainsman, but a Tatar.

Qi Dudu laughed and said: "A little thief, dare to get an axe and push it up!"

But when he saw two axemen pushing a young man up, Qi Dudu pointed at him and said, "This man is the leader of the Tatar vanguard battalion, and many people know him." Isn't it ridiculous that these barbarians have sent him to do such delicate work? ”

Laughter erupted for a while. Qi Dudu pointed at him and said, "Torture severely!" Pull it down! ”

He picked up the wine glass again and said: "A few thieves, not enough to worry about teeth, don't spoil Yaxing." Qilan, you can do another song! ”

Speaking in my heart, I am indeed a man of no emptiness under the fame, just this mind, this calmness, it is worth my half a life. So he hugged his fist and promised, and pulled a song "Good Night" in the middle, also known as "New Year's Eve Little Song", expressing the joy of gathering on Chinese New Year's Eve, this music image is single, lyrical, fresh, bright, giving people a sense of self-satisfaction, everyone gradually forgot about Fang Cai, continued to celebrate, and kept the New Year together, and the night was joyful.

The next morning, Qi Dudu came to me, smiled and said thank you for my reminder, he checked it out and it was really inappropriate, and he didn't want to startle the snake, so he set up the bureau to plan it. Those Tatars actually learned to poison people, but they were discovered by the prepared guards. I secretly said in my heart: "Didn't you see that I waited for a long time to move my chopsticks?" That's what I'm afraid of. ”

But I still have some worries in my heart, Qi Dudu saw that I didn't speak, and asked questions, and I replied, worried that the other party would not be able to make a plan, so he made another plan. When the governor heard this, he was silent for a while, and then he asked his men to arrange for a quiet search in the town and the adjacent areas, and if they found the Tatars, whether good or bad, they would all be arrested. The inside is also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, which is extra vigilant.

Sure enough, the Tatars made another disturbance on the first night of the new year, but they were quickly wiped out. Only then did it completely cease. And because of this incident, I have gained the sincere trust of Qi Dudu, and I have nothing to do with it in my heart.
